In other religious news, Pakistani Muslims are looking for blood from a mentally handicapped man who ‘desecrated the Qu’ran‘. I’m going to copy the entire article here, something I usually don’t do.

QUETTA: A mob attacked a police station in Quetta on Saturday, demanding a man detained for allegedly desecrating the Quran be handed over, leaving at least two children dead and 19 with gunshot wounds.

Violence erupted after police arrested a “mentally retarded” man said to have burnt pages of the holy book in Kuchlak, about 16 kilometres (10 miles) north of Quetta, senior administration official Qambar Dashti told AFP.

“Chanting the man should be killed for blasphemy, they later entered the police station and started firing,” he said, adding that a senior police officer, SP Saddar Malik Irshad narrowly escaped while his police guard was wounded in the shooting.

Police fired tear gas shells and opened fire in self defence, Quetta police chief Qazi Wajid said. ATF and FC had to be called in to bring the situation under control.

The clash left two children dead and 19 people wounded including eight policemen, he said. “All the wounded people have bullet injuries,” he added.

The protesters said the accused deserved death for blasphemy and demanded the police hand him over to them, he said.

“The man appeared to be mentally retarded, we have taken him into custody and ordered an investigation,” Wajid said, adding that control had been restored.

I could not find any information on what this poor man did to the Qu’ran that was so horrible that he deserved death. Actually, I can’t understand the mentality that would demand his arrest either.

In order to preserve the honour of their holy book, these radicals are willing to have children die. There is no comment I can make to that statement.
